WWhy are large downloads being throttled in Firefox but not IE or Chrome?

When downloading a large file in Firefox 3.6.12, download speed always starts high (300-400 KB) but quickly drops to 40-60 KB and stays at the slow speed. Happens on different web sites. When downloading multiple files. every file starts at the high speed and drops to the low speed in the same way. Downloading the same files with IE or Chrome the speed starts high and never drops. Starting Firefox in safe mode doesn't help.

I've now been forced to tell my users NOT to use FF because of it's BUG.

Typing in url for my company website sends it to https index page in Firefox, but not IE or Chrome, and the behavoir is not wanted

After upgrading Firefox to version 14.0.1 i noticed when i typed in my company's website address that firefox went to the https:// version of the site when it never did that before.
Example, if you type in amazon.com in the URL bar, you briefly see that firefox turns the url to https://www.amazon.com before being auto directed to the normal www.amazon.com site.
My website did not have a secure index page and people were getting a server generated message until I found this issue out.
Is there a setting in Firefox to prevent the URL bar from selecting a secure connection first? This behavior does not occur in the most recent versions of I.E. or Chrome browsers on a desktop.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited

Flash player lags bad with Firefox but not with google chrome,what is the problem ?

Every time i try to play any game using flash player with Firefox i have a lot of lag time. I have to stop playing and wait for things to catch up to play to play any more,I do not have this problem with google chrome playing the same games.I have updated all add ons and plugins.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month ago

Everyone can blame flash player if they want, but the truth is for me I went from an earlier version that had plugin container which created lag for me. I disabled the plugin container in about:config settings, and firefox worked fine. Plugin container screwed up any videos i tried to watch on the internet by freezing, lagging, and crashing firefox. I was fine after I disabled plugin container, but then eventually some time later down the road I received a warning that i would soon be forced to update my mozilla so I eventually/reluctantly gave in and complied. At this point the same problems started again!!! I disabled plugin container again and it did help a bit right away. But this version 12.0 even with plugin container disabled with just a few tabs open I receive choppy video (like a snapshot of the video at 3 seconds in, and then another snap at 6 seconds in) I'm only seeing snapshots of the video like every 3 seconds while the audio continues on fine. That"s how bad the lag is. This is horrible performance for a browser. If I try to load a video while one is already playing, just that little bit of stress (2 youtube videos open at once) is all it takes to crash this poor performing version of firefox. I mean I can't even close the tabs after these situations and the audio sometime runs after closing for me as well. These problems did not start until the version changes of firefox and the addition of plugin container, not flash player. I have been a loyal mozilla fan, but my patients is wearing so so thin with the performance of this browser at the moment. Unfortunately I just realized for the first time ever I actually have to (against my will) install another browser just to watch videos. How sad is that? Considering watching videos is one of the main uses of a browser, I consider this version a failure. How could I not??? I guess I have no choice but to Chrome it up. I hope a fix for this problem can be found soon for I miss the great performing days of this previously top performing browser. Fingers Crossed!!!

Google Mail looks "funny" thru Firefox, but not through google Chrome.

Lots of empty rectangles and bold lines. Very stark looking!

I gather that reloading the page (Ctrl+r -- or, to bypass cached files -- Ctrl+Shift+r) isn't bringing it back into line...
Do you recall any error messages about the site, security warnings, etc.?
Do you use a "high contrast" theme for Windows 7?

V 3.2 v2 now has problems with layouts, displays images fine in IE10, Firefox but not in Chrome...

Images placed in a page are not displaying in the same places in the design view on the rendered Chrome page, they are perfect in IE 10 and Firefox but not chrome / safari (ipad)?
In other words I cant get all the browsers to render the same, in order to get one set to work I have to position images one way and then they dont work in the other browsers? it doesnt make much sense but i cant seem to figure it out and need urgent help!
see here: http://www.nalpeiron.com/--analytics-solutions-by-role--.html
this has been setup to work with chrome, but in the design view you have to place the images in totally wrong places to get them to show correctly....
if you review in ie/firefox you can see the problem!
Ideas?

Every browser will potentially line break the same text with the same formatting differently due to subtle differences in the text layout engines between browsers, so the inline graphic approach is generally the best approach for achieving completely reliable results.
The reason the difference was so dramatic between IE or Firefox versus Chrome or Safari is that Chrome and Safari are based on Webkit and Webkit rounds percentage leading to a whole pixel value where as IE and Firefox interpret percentage leading as a fractional pixel amount, if necessary. This means line spacing for text with leading that's specified as a percentage will be substantially different between IE/Firefox and Chrome/Safari. You can avoid this by entering a pixel value (i.e. "14 px" for leading in the Control Strip or Text panel in Muse.

This doesn't sound like a Firefox problem. You should try to consider, methodically, what you did before the problem occurred so that you can describe to someone exactly what occurred, and in what order.

Images Viewable in Firefox But Not In Explorer, Safari, Chrome.

I have a coldfusion page with images. The images are called up dynamically from my Mysql database. The image field with my database has the datatype "char(100)". All that is stored in that database field is the file path to the folder of which the image is stored which is: \photos\RSL\1.jpg.
On my webpage, the image placeholder looks like this:
<a href="#Unit_Info.comphoto1#"><img src="#Unit_Info.comphoto1#" alt="" name="1" width="98" height="73" /></a>
This images display just fine on Firefox, But Not In Explorer, Safari, & Chrome. These latter three just show a broken image. Could there be something wrong with either my coldfuson or Mysql file path where each of the letter three browsers are trying to access?
I'm running Coldfusion 9 on my local machine, using OS Window 7 Professional.

When I hard coded the file path it worked. I checked the source code and saw no white space. I even went to each browser's options dialog box to make sure that the show image options were checked. It may be my coding. In my image folder there are categories of other folders within folders that have images of which Coldfusion calls up whenever the browser needs it. Could that be the problem? Should I have all of my 300 images in one folder?

Images show up on Firefox but not IE after upgrade from 8.1 to 9.2

Hello,
 
 We are encountering a strange situation: we upgrade our Weblogic 8.1 Application to 9.2. The images on the login page can be properly displayed on Firefox, but not in IE.
 
 In order to make the images show up on IE, we have to modify the image path by adding extra two "//". For example:
 
 We have to change
 
 < img src="/resources/images/logo.gif" .../>
 
 into
 
 < img src="///resources/images/logo.gif" .../>
 
 to make it works in IE, however, in that case, the Firework won't work.
 
 We do notice that the file structure has been changed by the upgrade:
 
 File structure of Weblogic 8.1 Application Web Module "golWeb"
 
 
 golWeb
 
 * jsps folders
 
 * resources
 
 >> resources/images
 
 >> resources/jsps
 
 * WEB-INF
 
 File structure of Weblogic 9.2 Application Web Module "golWeb"
 
 
 golWeb
 
 * WebContent
 
 -- jsps folders
 
 -- resources
 
 >>> resources/images
 
 >>> resources/jsps
 
 -- WEB-INF
 
 
 It seems that only the first login page has such issue. Could anyone help us with this issue? We totally have no clues now.
 
 Thanks for the help!

Agnes,
 I think you should distinguish whether it is a behavior difference between
 two browsers or it is an issue of WLS server.
 You can copy suspicious html codes into a dependent html file, then check
 how is is rendered by different browsers.
 If you have further issues, please add commnets here.
 Regards
 Leon

Published module (.swf) will play in Firefox but not IE

Please help…
Does anyone know why a .swf file would play fine in Mozilla Firefox, but not load at all in Internet Explorer?   I have six of these that I’ve uploaded to our intranet production server (where they should work fine). They all play fine in Firefox. In IE I get a blank screen that just hangs forever. I don't even get the loading screen (which plays correctly in Firefox.) They are published with Captivate 4 for Flash 8. I am using IE 7 with Flash 10 on Windows XP to try to play them. I’ve Googled the problem and searched the Captivate forums and can’t find anything on this.
This is a major problem for us, as our company standard is IE and these training modules are intended for all staff. We were hoping to roll them out to all staff next week. Could this be something that is local to my machine (which is new)?   If so, how do we troubleshoot it to make sure it won’t happen to other users in the field when we roll this training out?
The modules play in IE fine from my local hard drive.   I've also modified my IE and Flash settings to list the sites as trusted sites and always allow content.
I've got to get this figured out ASAP... any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks.

IE - I have version 10,1,102,64 installed
Firefox - I have version 10,1,85,3 installed
I followed two sets of instructions. One related to the putting FakeFlash.exe in the ExecutablePublish folder. However, that didn't fix the problem I was experiencing. Then I Followed instructions from:
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/solution-for-cp5-content-not-working-with-the-lat est-flash-player-version.html
which told me to replace the CPAnimationUtils.dll file in the installations folder.
This did correct my problem.

Flash buttons work in FireFox but not IE

Please can someone please take a look and see if they can
figure it out cos i can't!
roundshaw (dot) co (dot) uk
The increase and decrease flash buttons at the top of the
page works ok in FireFox but not in Internet Explorer.
Can anyone see what i have missed that stops it working in
IE?
thanks in advance for your help.

Hello again,
Yep, sounds like you've got the general idea.
hries22 wrote:
I'm going to start from scratch and give it another go...would you reccomend converting every button to a symbol? Then give the symbols a mouseover, click, and mouseout?
I'd take all the elements that make up the button, and convert that into a symbol. Then you can go to labels with your code without worrying about the main timeline. Put all your code on the elements themselves, and not on the symbol instance.
hries22 wrote:
Also - and this minor - but is there a way to get a button's mouseover area to recognize transparency? For instance - I'll use a .png with transparency for a button...let's say the T-shirt. I want the mouseover to activate only when the mouse is over the t-shirt, and not over the transparent area around the t-shirt...any thoughts?
By default, the hit area of a div in HTML is its bounding box. Right off the top of my head, I'm not sure there's a way to change it...maybe someone else can chip in?
EDIT: here's an old-school way...could be a lot of work: http://www.svennerberg.com/2008/09/imagemap-rollover/

My bulleted list displays correctly in IE 8 and Firefox, but not in IE 7

I have a simple bulleted list in a right floated sidebar for a website. If views fine in IE 8 and Firefox, but not in IE 7 (and perhaps earlier, though I only have access to machines with IE 7 and 8.
Because the default indent for the bulleted list moves it too far to the right, I set a negative margin for that area of text in order to move it to the left a little. While it looks great in IE 8 and Firefox, it appears this margin setting is causing the bulleted list to shift too far to the left in at least IE 7. The rest of the copy in the sidebar div lookes fine including the title and paragraph copy.
Can anyone suggest a fix?
Also, I noticed the spacing above the main content div is smaller in IE 7 than with the IE 8 and Firefox. This div has a h1 heading followed by paragraphs. (This site was developed using a pre-existing CSS style sheet from Dreamweaver by the way.)

Strangely when I replied via e-mail my message got garbled when I looked at it here.
I was able to move over the bullet items to the left using your suggestion, however it now shows this line of copy above the page at the top of the window in the IE browser (both IE 7 and IE 8):

<title>Home Page</title>

<link href="../css/twoColFixRtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

IWeb pages displayed correctly in Firefox but on in Safari/Chrome

I made a personal web page with iWeb. Now some of the pages are not displayed correctly in Safari and/or Chrome.
Check this page for example : http://maiklohse.de/Maik_Lohse/media.html
There are 6 YouTube videos embedded in the page. They all will show up if you use Firefox - but not with Safari or Chrome. Anybody got any ideas?

An alternative way to add so many Quicktime movie files to a page so it will load faster is to use the method in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. None of the movies will load until the play button is selected. That will let the page load very quickly. Right now it's glacially slow.
